He’s done it again! After sending the Red Champions into the Carling Cup quarters with a penalty goal to nil, the argentine striker and “benched-for-the-season” victim took Wednesday night’s League Cup game at home to the Rovers to prove his capacities.

The flurry of goals:

There were no goals in the first thirty minutes until Giggs’ free-kick was powerfully headed home by Carlos Tevez aka ‘the bull’ as I call him. The goal scorer then played a wonderful one-two with Nani who buried the ball at the back of the net to double Man United’s lead.

Early in the second half, Benny McCarthy pulled one back for the visitors only for Tevez to widen the gap once more from the penalty spot.
The argentine completed his hat-trick in a cool way, driving Anderson’s square ball across the goal line.
Blackburn Rovers thought they could offer their manager Paul Ince a bit of relief when they score was 4-3 with some minutes left in the game.

However, it was Carlos Tevez who got the last word: He slaughtered the ball with a wicked shot from 20 yards to kill any chances of a Blackburn comeback.

After the match, his manager Alex Ferguson was full of praise for him. Perhaps this will give him the opportunity to be in Man United’s starting line up for the upcoming matches.

Well, this victory means that the Red Champions continue their formidable home record this season. They are the only team from the big 4 to survive in this competition. Manchester United complete the semi-finals line up with titleholders Tottenham who beat Watford, Derby County who beat Stoke City and Burnley who wrote off Arsenal 2-0 after disqualifying last year’s finalists Chelsea.
